Thursday, May 12, 2016 - This was an experiment to see how $13 Bordeaux aged. Bought on release and stored in my cellar.
Popped and poured. Very dark garnet. Heavy legs.
Nose: cherry and that is all I get.
Palate: muted fruit, more muted than I remember on release. A little bitter on the finish but good with food.
For $13 I would say it is a good daily drinker and could last a little longer. I have one more bottle and I am not sure if I will hold it longer or drink it in the next month or so. It is definetely better within a year or three but not bad overall for the price.
